Fantastic! There are a few buildings downtown that I suspect are 40's 50's facade overhauls of ornate buildings. In some cases it has to do with changing design tastes and in other cases I wonder whether the facade's ornateness wasn't performing well.
I'm reading a lot these days about ca 1910 buildings with Vacuum cleaning systems - am working at trying to figure out what exactly that entailed at the time.
